Forbidden Words

Forbidden words

Are my forbidden fruit

For these are words

I should not ask of you

Though they echo real loud

And demand to know your truth

I know not to sew these seeds

And really ought to uproot

Forbidden words

I wish to ask

Since long ago when I heard of her

If maybe just perhaps

You thought instead of me

When in her company

But these are forbidden words

That I should not dare speak

Forbidden words

I wish to know

When you said I cross your thoughts

When your lust does grow

If at that time I wasn’t there

And instead with her your time you did share

If I was the one you wished instead

And I was the forbidden thought in your head

Forbidden words

That tantalise me so

If it was my face you saw

Where hers should be

If it was my chest that you wished she bared

Between her legs you wished was mine

Just like I did when I was with one not you

Yet all my thoughts were only of you

Forbidden words

That’d cut you deep

For in the past I’ve instilled pain in you selfishly

Like you’re the one in the wrong and not me

Not to mention the societal cues

How I would be just so rude

To go and put you on the spot

Asking of you such a personal thought

Forbidden words

That haunt me now

Tempted to know

Though I know not to ask

Cuz if I do

An answer no, though understandable, might disappoint to hear

But if I do

An answer yes, whilst bring you guilt, bring to me cheer

Forbidden words

I dare to write

And perhaps I’ll share

There’s a chance I might

Knowing this fruit is a danger in me

And I know I really ought not to feed

Oh my forbidden thoughts

You’re greedy for truth

Ignorance is bliss

I should just let it be

But curiosity killed the cat

And there’s a feline in me
